**Important information regarding the Meningococcal Vaccine**

Beginning with the Spring 2012 semester, Texas law (Education Code §51.9192, legislation attached) mandates that Texas universities and health science centers require all new and transfer students show proof of vaccination against bacterial meningitis. The law does not apply to new and transfers students who are over the age of thirty at the time of enrollment or who are enrolled only in distance learning classes. The only exceptions permitted by the law are for: 1) Students who can provide proof that a health care provider has determined that it would be a health risk for the student to have the vaccine; or 2) Students who use the Exemption Form issued by the Texas Department of State Health. Obtaining the required form from the Texas Department of Health Services to establish an exemption for reasons of conscience is a time-intensive process that usually takes about a month. If you are anticipating using this exemption then you will need to start this process early. This form can be requested at http://webds.dshs.state.tx.us/immco/affidavit.shtm .

*Please note if you are a student who previously attended our institution or another institution of higher learning before January 1, 2012 and are re enrolling following a break in enrollment of at least one fall or spring semester you must fulfill the meningitis vaccine requirement.*
